We performed a comparison between Cisco UCS Manager and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"The reporting functionality will give you any report you want."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"What I like most about Cisco UCS Manager is the ease of administration. It also allows the central management of maintenance, installation, and configuration activities."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"New features are added often."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"What's lacking in Cisco UCS Manager is the performance dashboard. If a blade has any performance issues, you should be able to create a dashboard on Cisco UCS Manager. Currently, this feature isn't present."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"Cisco UCS is expensive compared to others. The Cisco UCS Chassis is more expensive than a standalone server, but some companies require standalone servers because of their production load and affordability. You need to pay more if you require more features on the Blade or if you need more ports on the switch."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"Cisco UCS Manager is not a scalable solution because once you have 160 blades, it cannot be expanded more."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
